MAKING OF
OF THE EXHIBITION
from New York to Paris
FIRST
INVENTORY
PART 1 (Archive 2013)
In 2013, Henri Dauman and Vincent Montana agreed to make the first retrospective of the photographer.
In 60 years of career, this will be the first time that Henri Dauman will be at the center of an exhibition bringing together his main works for Life Magazine or the New York Times.
For this, the production called on Audrey Hoareau and François Cheval from the Nicéphore Niépce Museum. The inventory will be able to begin with a studious one-on-one between the young exhibition curator and the great photo-reporter.
